Pastor John Roach Straton hastened to write out a 5,000-word apologia pro sua vita. There was no Pentecostalism rife in Calvary Bapist Church; the woman of Lindbergh Monday was a victim of the general Manhattan hysteria or was ill; the five deacons were fractious and had better have resigned; they were "making a grandstand play for publicity." He concluded: "In closing I wish to say that I was duly elected as the engineer of this Gospel train here at Calvary Baptist Church. And throughout the ten years of my leadership the overwhelming majority of the officers...
...ancient journalistic hoax came rather as a shock. Readers shook heads, shrugged shoulders, mumured: "Say, it isn't true, Lindy, say it isn't true." But, on reflection, they decided that, after all, it did not so much matter whether Colonel Lindbergh did or did not write his signed stories-they made excellent reading, they were presumably at least based on interviews with him, and Colonol Lindbergh, if he had a "ghost," was only doing what many famed persons had before and would do again.

...readers by the ill-natured and silly letter in the June 13 number of Time signed CYRIL D. H. G. DILLINGTON-DOWSE. I am an Englishman of 25 years' residence in London and 20 in the United States, and I know well the insular type of Britisher who writes this strangely inept and grossly unjust attack upon TIME.

As a temporary resident (and therefore guest), of these great United States of America. As one who served with the Canadian forces in France and Belgium from February, 1915, to October, 1918, in various ranks, from Private to Staff-Captain, Corps Headquarters. I desire to apologize to you, and the thousands who -will have read it, the deplorably tactless, ill-timed, and partially untruthful letter of "ONE" Cyril...
...time of the right to al themselves civilized. The doctor has eradicated the old Black Plague, or has driven it into the dark corners of the earth. Never again will it sweep the crowd in cities, striking as it goes. Today the doctors of public opinion, the men who write, who edit, who produce, who talk, have before them a greater opportunity than ever before to eradicate the Twentieth. Century Black Plague. Let the people see more of the barbed wire. Let them hear less of the drums...
